Taxonomic Notes

The diagnosis is based on the one species known as larva, G. alboviridis, first described by Sæther (1976). This larva differs from other Chironomini in the combination of broad, pale median mental tooth flanked by several pairs of obliquely sloping, darker lateral teeth, small scale-like pecten epipharyngis, weakly divided into 3 shallow lobes and premandible with 6 slender teeth progressively diminishing in size proximally.
